In an article on strikes published In
the American of Lake Charles, La. +,
snorg other interesting and sensible
tAings occurs the following:
The right of free labor is one of
the most sacred aIder the cOnstitu-
ZION. BY free lsror We mean the
right of everv nan to seek employ
Hent where b. pieases and work for
What price he chooses.
The right of the employer 10 dis
sharss Incompetent men and replace
them by others to suit the contingent
sies of the work.
The rights of business, dependent
upon the railroads. to be fully pro-
pected 80 as not to suffer material loss
By any failure of the common carrier.
The rights Of labor, depending upon
business. require that they should not
be thrown out Of employment ss the
caprice of some irresponsible third
party.
The admission into our American
system of labor and business methods
Of force of the most arbitrary and des-
potic character.
A strike on y railroad is criminal
because it violently interferes with
property it does not own, and it is q
blow against the public peace and
prosperity"
AS will be seen by the above, the
south is rapidly adopting the views of
the north in regard to strikes, and the
time is coming when they will have
no followers unless the grievance is Of
such a nature that it cannot be srbi-
trated.
